Ep 5: Reinvention & Portfolio Careers- What is My Purpose?

When you’re constantly relocating, traditional career paths often go out the window. In this episode of Unpacked, we explore the idea of portfolio and portable careers the often non-linear ways diplomatic partners build meaning and identity through work, reinvention, and creative adaptation.

We ask:

- Are we constantly reinventing, or simply expressing our purpose in new forms?

- What does it look like to shift between employment, freelancing, consulting?

We also get honest about:

-The emotional side of reinvention

-The hidden power in flexibility (and the hidden cost)

-The realities of self-employment vs. formal employment abroad

-The pressure to “make it count” when you do get an opportunity

And that sticky question… which partner is lucky?

Whether you're in the middle of a pivot or just wondering what’s next, this episode is for you.
